• FLOW: Moderately paced stories with chapter-ending cliffhangers.
• AGE RANGE: Young Adult, Teen, New Adult, and Adult are accepted.
• Proven category tropes including, but not limited to, human mutations, alien invasion.
• Protagonists: Alpha heroines, beta/alpha heroes, and anti-heroes who provide hope in scary situations. We are huge fans of strong and capable female characters.
• Savvy Villains and strong conflict. This is a huge deal. Even villains should be likeable and have strong conflict with the protagonists.
• Authors we love: Cālix Leigh-Reign, Tomi Adeyemi, Stephenie Meyer, Sabaa Tahir.
• POV should be split 50/50 between the hero and heroine. 3rd person POV is preferred, given the expansive world-building required in this genre. First POV is still acceptable. Non-primary characters should NOT have their own POV.
• Single title manuscripts must be complete at 70-85K words in length.
• Series title installments must each be complete 50-85K words in length and be presented as serialized packages.
